Bisimoto Engineering has now made public its private testing facility, and upgraded its tuning equipment to handle high horsepower applications.  Using the "state of the art" upgraded Dynapack 3000 hub style dyno, customers now have access to precise tuning tools that they need and deserve. 

This dyno offers all the advantages of an engine dyno, with the additional benefit of the engine sitting in its natural environment: the engine bay.  This is a key advantage for engines equipped with individual throttle body style intakes, where engine bay harmonics can play a role in intake pulsation and tune.  Finally, in addition to tuning fuel injection equipped vehicles, the L.A. basin has a facility that can also precisely tune Weber and Mikuni carburetor applications!

This expensive setup was the only solution in in terms of repeatable accuracy, and allows us to continue to refine and develop products well into the future.  We would have opted for a dyno that was not as costly, only if it was considered to be good enough for our purposes and research.  Many prestegious teams, and manufacturers use this same dyno for their testing purposes (Chrysler-daimler, Honda, Scion, DC sports, AEM, Hondata, et cetera).  This facility is used by many sport compact teams, and manufacturers as well.  Torco racing oils, Rockett Brand Fuel, Web Camshafts, Burns Stainless, VP Fuels, and Arias pistons have successfully tested with our equipment.

The Dynapack unit offers the superior control over any dyno we have seen.  Not only can we vary the load at with small increments at any rpm; it can also hold the vehicle at a set rpm regardless of throttle position.  These advantages allow the tuner to focus at the task at hand, and accurately map and tune the powerplant to the degree that no other roller dyno can.

General Q&A:

1. How much does a dyno tune/session cost?

Dyno time is charged on an hourly basis, with the exception of baseline pulls/tests.  The cost for dyno tuning without engine management is $120/hr.  With engine management, $160/hr.  If you desire to tune you own powerplant, $100/hr is the charge for a supervised rental.

Baseline testing (of 3 pulls, with charts), costs $75. 

You do get what you pay for.  Many dyno shops have sprouted up in the Southern California area, and have been proven to damage customers' hard earned investments due to lack of experience and credentials.  Anyone with the resources, can purchase a dyno, but not every one is a degreed engineer, can tune, or understands the science behind proper tuning.  This practice has been common with a few "racers" out there, who try to take advantage of unsuspecting fans and customers.  Driving a race car does not make you a tuner, and hence one should beware of such unscrupulous facilities.

The average tuning time can vary depending on parts chosen, and state of tune upon arrival.  2 hours is a good mindset around anticipated time.  You will be updated if the tune needs to exceed that timeframe.  PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and cash are the accepted means of payment.

2. How do I book an appointment?

Call us at 909-629-8769, or write to us through the "contact us" link.  Make sure that you have adequate fuel for the session.  We carry high octane race fuel, if needed.  Bring any wheel lock keys, when locks are installed on wheels. 

Unlike roller style dynos, an alignment is not required prior to testing, and there is no danger of your vehicle seeing damage due to loose or tight straps on your suspension.  There is documentation of vehicles veering off of roller dynos, causing significant damage to the investement of both the facility and the enthusiasts vehicles.  That is not the case with the safe hub-style Dynapack units.

3.  Can your facility tune Carbureted and Injected engines?

Yes, we can.  In addition to tons of accolades, we are EFI 101, and AEM EMS certified.  We also have successfully tuned hundreds of street, race and show vehicles.

In the Southern California area, many enthusiasts have had difficulty finding a facility that is comfortable with Weber, SK, Solex, Mikuni, Lectron, JayCee and Berg carbs.  That challange is now gone!  We have had over a decade of experience with carburetor tuning.  The only additional cost are in purchasing the required jets (and in the rare instance, pump jets, emulsion tubes and/or needle valves).

4. What EFI systems can you tune?

Many, including, but not limited to, FAST, Hondata, AEM EMS, Stinger, Autronic, Weber FI, Haltech, Greddy E-Manage, Microtech, Crome and countless piggyback systems like APEXi.

5. What is the power handling of your dyno?

Our newer and upgraded Dynapack unit model 3000 (now a 4000 series model) can handle power around the 1100 wheel hp range.  This covers over 98% of the vehicles that typically visit a dyno facility in the U.S.

7. Will I make more power on your dyno than others?

Many other local dyno shops try to create appeal for their cheaper and inadequate dynamometers by spreading rumors about Dynapack dynos.  Our Dynapack displays power figures similar to the ubiquitous Dynojet (within 3 hp at the same altitude and temperature).  An article by the prestegious Sport Compact Car Magazine can shed more light on this subject: http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/editors/technobabble/0110scc_technobabble/index.html

8. Can your facility tune sandrails?

Yes, we can and do!  We are not limited by the footprint of your offroad sandrail.  Give us a call for more details.

We are engineers, not magicians.  The amount of horsepower extracted from your engine is determined by the parts you choose, the fuel you run, and the health of your engine.  Our tuning concepts and experiences are from a cumulation of years of racing and precision tuning.
